Mel Brooks knows why Jews are Smart
In a previous post I showed a line in Deuteronomy that in no uncertain terms says the Jewish people are going to have a reputation for being smart and explains why and how they will get that reputation. First this is amazing because it is a recorded prediction to the Jewish people thousands of years before any the smart stereotypes became common.
This is where Mel Brooks quotes Deuteronomy: Think of the names of many modern-day figures most responsible for the intellectual turning points in history - MARX, FREUD, EINSTEIN - and you will find proof of the Biblical verdict: "Surely this is...a wise and understanding people." There simply is no way to deny it.
He then gives three reasons why this is: part of one of those reasons has to do with a personal favorite topic of mine-- sex! Anyway, here is a link to the essay, and I will write more commentary about it later tonight.
